 I vowed and strove long and hard, but sell dom held victory over liquor long. I hated drunkenness, but still I drank. When left it off I felt horrid want of something I
 must have or go distracted. I could neither eat, work or sleep. entered a reformatory and prayed for strength; still must drink. lived so for over twenty years; in that time I never abstained over three months hand running. At length I was sent to the house
 Of correction as a vagrant. If my family
 had been provided for would have preferred to remain there out of liquor and tempta- tion. Explaining my affiiction to a fellow prisoner, a man of much education and ex- perience, he advised me to make vinegar of ground quassia, half ounce steeped in 8 pint of vinegar, and to put about a small teaspoonful of it in little water, and drink it down every time the liquor thirst came upon me violently. found it satisfied the cravings and suffused feeling of stimula- tion and strength. When I was discharged continued this cure, and persevered till the thirst was conquered. For two years have not tasted liquor and have no desire for it. Lately, to try my strength, I have handled and smelt whiskey, but have no temptation to take it. I give this for the consideration of the unfortunate, several of whom know have recovered by the same means, which I no longer require to use

tap, which is arranged similarly to the tap
 on gas pipe. In this way the machine is
 unprimed without it's being able to give an
 extra current spark. Another arrangement is also made Use of, glass tube being filled with mercury and dipped into reservoir containing the same substance. This tube is provided with ground stopper, this not only permitting the suppression of the extra current, but also interposing any sort of re- distance in the current. Although these de- tails appear rather technical they relate to a most important matter. The use of electri- cal machines is increasing, and it is of prac- tical use to know that currents are not dan gerous until a power of five hundred volts is reached. It is also of interest to know that the mechanism of death varies with the na- ture of the electricity used. Thus with the extra current, or with alternating currents, there is no anatomical lesion, and the patient can usually be brought back to life through the practice of artificial respiration as em- ployed in cases of drowning. The discharge of static electricity from batteries, on the contrary, causes disorgaaization of the tis- sues that renders fruitless all attempts to re- store life

THAT .s-rEmpoRAL K1NGDom..

THAT e,EEMPOhAA A-kNGDOm.E
 The Mormon convention has made plaus- ible bid for the favor of the people of this country by putting into the constitution pre- pared for the proposed State of Utah provis- ions for the entire separation of Church and State, for non-sectarian education, forbidding the employment or rejection of school teachers on account of their faith or non- belief in any doctrine or sect, forbidding bigamy and polygamy ana providing penal ties therefor, not to be changed or amended without the consent of Congress and the President and apportioning the representa- tion as recently provided for the territory so as to favor the minority.
 This is all interesting, and might be en- couraging if it could be accepted as entirely honest About two weeks age the Salt Lake Herald, the organ of the Mormons, asked, ssIs it not possible for the Mormons, realiz- ing the energy of the opposition, to frame a charter that shall be sufficiently anti-polyga- nous to suit the mind of Congress ?" and said: s' It will not be 8 spontaneous desire but somewhat dissgreeable alternative" 7" And before that the same paper had said |: " Hut OOcS OboVCAOOSA AAACoA ~ A40eAS SAAoO all local matters will be absolutely within the control of the people of the territory-that the laws will be of their own making and the officers of their own choosing. The incubus of 8 foreign governor with autocratic powers, and kindred wrongs, will cease. and in their place will be erected government of the people, for the people, and by the peo- pie. Of course, this means more to the Mor- mons than to those who oppose them, be- cause the former are majority.
 The Mormon missionaries who are working in Europe and in the South tell the recruits obtained that they must go to Utah as an army of occupation" A Mormon elder preaching in the Salt Lake City tabernacle a few weeks ago said: We expect to fill the territory and to spread over the whole earth as temporal kingdom. We are spreading to the east into Colorado, and on the other sides into Idaho, Nevada and Arizona, and we shall spread over all the country and enter into possession of it.
 If these are the ideas which underlie the effort to make Utah State it would not be wise to grant the desire of the Mormons. The only S temporal kingdom" wanted in this country is that of the people governing through their representatives.

Lemons in Summer.

While you are giving people simple rules for preserving their health why don't you tell them about the use of lemons7" an in- telligent professional man asked me the oth- CT day. He went on to say that he had long been troubled with an inactive liver, which gave him world of pain and trouble, until recently he was advised by friend to take a glass of not water with the juice of half a lemon squeezed into it, but no sugar, night and morning, and see what the effect would be. He tried it and found himself better almost immediately. His daily headaches, which medicine had failed to cure, left him; his appetite improved and he gained several pounds in weight within a few weeks. Af- ter while he omitted the drink either at night or in the morning, and now at times does without either of them.
 'I am satisfied from experiment" said he, "that there is no better medicine for persons who are troubled with bilious and liver complaints than the simple remedy ] have given, which is far more eficacioas than quinine or any other drug, while it is devoid of their injurious consequences. It excites the liver, stimulates the digestive organs and tones up the system generally. It is not unpleasant to take either; indeed one soon gets to liking it."

 This is our business plan exactly; it works to mutual advantage and brings both parties satisfaction. Our suits for summer wear apply directly to the wants of all men, young men and boys from the tender age up to that merging in manhood. Our salesmen understand their business and will not let an i'll fitting suit go out of the store. The popular patterns of cloth and styles of suit are laid out here for convenient in~ spection.

 A Quail Attacks n Cat.

From the Chico (Cal.) Enterprise.l In the yard of A. A. Bruner some quail
 from the Rancho Chico have taken up their
 abode and built their nest. A few days ago
 there was pretty little brood matched out,
 and the mother quail was proud of her pro- geny and took pleasure in caring for them. Mir. Bruner encouraged her in providing for
 the wants of the young family by putting within reach soft feed suitable for the baby quails Last Sunday Maltese cat belonging to Harry Fuller made it's appearance in the
 yard on foraging expedition, and watching
 the opportunity, made dash at the female quail, caught it and was taking it prisoner to
 his own domain, there to devour his prey at leisure. The cry and noise made by the struggle of the bird was soon noticed by the male, who came to the rescue and regular
 battle ensued. The male bird made a vii
 cious attack upon the cat, pecking with the
 beak and striking with the wings until he
 forced the cat to surrender and release the female The two birds got upon the fence and watched the retreating form of the cat with evident signs of pleasure and satisfac- ton, and no doubt congratulating each other in bird lingo

Death by Electricity.


 A number of interesting experiments have just been made with such electrical machines as are employed in industries, with the view of determining under what conditions they may become dangerous. These have been conducted by M. D'Arsonval, who has all ready. established the fact that what is truly dangerous where these machines are used is the extra current that occurs at the moment the current is broken, and in order to annul this extra current he proposes to interpose a series of volta meters containing calculated water along the conducting wire. The new arrangement now employed is at once more simple and efficient. It consists of V. shaped tube made of an insulating substance which, after being filled with mercury, is in. terposed in the main current. In order te close the latter it is only necessary to turn :

The Charleston News and Courier has late- ly shown itself wide awake to some of the drawbacks to South Carolina's progress For example, it says: There have been four homicides in the State within three weeks. The long list grows steadily from year to year, from month to month, almost from week to week. Is it not time-nay it is time-that the people of South Carolina should take this subject into most earnest consideration for the purpose of efecting 6 change for the better. The evil should not be regarded as a matter of course. Some thing is going wrong somewhere, and, what ever is the cause that human life is held so cheap, it should be sought out, and rooted out. If the law is at fault in any way let the defect be found and corrected. If the courts fail to do their duty let the remedy be ap- piled there. a1f the indifference of the people as manifested by their representatives in the jury box particularly is at the bottom of so much lawlessness let the leaders and teachers of the people-the press and the pulpit unite to break the fatal spell that is upon us and to organize public sentiment that will be as effective to punish such crimes in the future as it has been to excuse them in the recent past.

An attempt is to be made to improve the condition of things in New Hampshire as regards fire insurance. The bill which has been introduced into the legislature requires that the agent of sn insurance company shall, before insuring building, make an appraisal of it's value, and, in case of it's total loss, this appraisal shall represent it's value for purposes of settlement, and the com pany that insures up to the amount of such value will be compelled to pay total loss. The trouble that would be experienced in the practical working of plan of this kind would be that insurance agents are rarely qualified to make correct estimates of the value of property.
